Argentina’s Lake District

January 16, 2010 | Countries, Tourist Attractions, Travel Guide

North-west Pantagonia is called the Lake Districts. Argentina’s Lake District is a paradise on earth for the tourists. The fairytale flawlessness of the snowcapped mountains, the lush green forest, the lakes and the glittering rivers full of trout make it captivating. The region stretches from north of Junín de los Andes to the south of Esquel, encompassing small villages, ranches, many wonderful national parks and the flourishing city of Bariloche. The natural beauty of the Lake District attracts tourists from far and wide. Not only the scenic beauty but the spectacular architecture that has a unique blend of Swiss and German immigration holds attraction to the tourists. Though it is thought of part of Patagonia it has little similarity to that place.

The Lake District has something for everyone all the year round. Be it sightseeing to sunbathing, hiking to biking or summer boating to winter skiing, golf, trekking, boating, rafting, wind surfing, bird watching and off course fishing this place is a real joy to visit. There are a number of places for sightseeing here. The Nahuel Huapi National Park, the second largest park in Argentina is a must go for the tourists. The area charecterises mirror puzzle of lakes, forest, mountains and rivers flowing along sharp river valleys. You can also have a look at the Cerro Tronador, the inactive volcano. You can wonder and stroll beside some of the world’s best lakes like the Gutierrez, Mascardi, etc. The River Manso is worth visiting. But you get spellbound when you look at the Cerro Lopez Mountains. You can have a glance of these beautiful mountains from the streets of Bariloche. Also visit the Esquel and experience the exulting air and alluring surroundings. The place is also renowned for its food — venison, wild boar, trout, smoked cheeses, wild mushrooms, sweet marmalades, chocolates, and more. As tourism is the principle source of revenue here, the prices raise as the pouring masses visit this region from mid-December to early March and during the month of July. To escape the crowd November or April is recommended, when the weather is still dulcet.
